Catheter Comfort

Hello, 

My name is Christopher Sangiacomo, and I have stage 4 prostate cancer. 

I was diagnosed 3 years ago after I went to the emergency room due to vomiting blood for 3 hours. 

The reason I was vomiting was that the tumor on my prostate was blocking the flow of urine from my bladder. 

In the emergency room, the nurse inserted a catheter so I could drain my bladder, and that catheter remained in place for 5 months. 

If you've ever had a catheter, you understand how painful it is to move around. Most of the discomfort I felt came from the constant pulling on the tube with every movement of the leg to which the stat-lock was glued. 

Even the slightest shift while sleeping was excruciating. 

After a month of cleaning dried blood from the catheter tube after a long day of work and walking around, I thought, “This is the best we can do? We put a man on the moon, but this hose glued to my leg is the best answer.” Yes, I have a twisted sense of humor. 

So, I visited a hobby shop and created a device that changed my life. 

This invention alleviated the discomfort caused by the catheter and allowed me to play golf again. 

If you or someone you know is dealing with a catheter and is seeking catheter comfort or catheter pain relief, please reach out to me. 

Hopefully, you or the person you know won’t have to endure a catheter for 5 months like I did. Unfortunately, some people aren't as fortunate, and a long-term catheter is the only solution. 

This device can help improve their quality of life and provide a less painful experience every day.
